VOLGA-DNEPR Airlines' has flown twenty eight 7.5-metre cypress trees onboard an IL-76TD-90VD freighter from Brno-Turany Airport in the Czech Republic to Tashkent, the Uzbekistan capital, for a landscape reconstruction project as part of the city抯 preparations to host the 2016 Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit.
The cypress trees were grown at a nursery in Germany and transported to Brno for the flight to Uzbekistan. The outsize project cargo specialist operated the flight on behalf of the Russian logistics company Haltec-Avia.
Said Volga-Dnepr sales executive, Vyacheslav Shakhov: 揟he trees were packed inside special protective boxes that were too tall to be loaded using the aircraft抯 onboard crane system so in order to avoid the costly rental of external cranes, we brought our own special loading equipment from Leipzig to the Czech Republic, which enabled us to load the trees using the aircraft抯 ramp and rail system and a forklift truck."
